So it does seem that you have an unpaid order that needs to be paid for.


You will not be able to update or download any new apps until you pay for it.


You can view what what is unpaid in your purchase history. It will show pending. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204088


If you do want to continue to download and update apps, you will need to unlock your card, or update your payment method in your settings. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201266


Hope this helps ;)
